Looks like a bad pass to me, he was completely out of rhythm he would have bricked that if he took it the way his foot was planted

:mjlol: Yall just be saying anything
Luka and Trae straight carried their teams over these other vets like Embiid during the play-offs when they were only 23/24. Tatum and Brown did the same last year.

Imagine what Barnes, JG, Paolo, Cade, Ant, Giddey, Haliburton, LaMelo, etc. will do when in a few years when they're the 24/25 year olds and on stacked teams with chemistry. Got Wemby, Scoot, etc. right after that too.

All I'm saying is right now this 2 year window might be the easiest/best chance to win a championship for some of these players before the new generation resets the power dynamics. Embiid, Jokic, Butler, Lillard, Beal, Booker, etc. got to do something right now if they want to carry their teams.

Times are flying now more than ever with the advanced international talent coming into the league.

Embiid has never won shyt, he's not the standard of current "vet" stars. The true contenders are almost always led by stars between the ages of 25-early 30s. We're not gonna all of a sudden see 22 year olds leading their teams to titles

They trying to get Ben going but RJ is right he’s better when it’s through movement. He’s a great slasher and finisher when he’s being fed. But damn this nikka ain’t got one go to post move like a fukking turnaround or quick spin baseline or something :dahell:

I have watched him this year, he's refusing to even slash. At his best he could at least give you that, he is avoiding scoring at all costs. He picks up his dribble pretty quick to pass
